Skip Hire Bookings, Rounds and Container Tracking for Waste Companies
Mythex lets a waste management company build skip or container booking that checks a size is free for the dates, numbered container tracking from yard to site, rounds and driver rotas, a portal where commercial customers download weights and waste paperwork, and invoices that pull weights and surcharges from each job. Describe it and publish.
What a waste management company needs from software
Trucks leave the yard early for fixed commercial rounds, and skip drops and collections are squeezed in around them. Orders come by phone, drivers carry paper run sheets, and a skip that was meant to be collected after a week is still on a driveway a month later, unbilled. Spring clear-outs and building work create peaks, public holidays shift every collection day, and each load needs a weight, a disposal site and the paperwork your local rules require. Commercial customers increasingly need weights and recycling rates for their own reporting. Software helps by knowing where every container is, which jobs are on which truck, and what to bill.
- Container sizes with availability by date
- Numbered containers tracked at yard, site or disposal
- Drop location details, photos and permit needs
- Fixed rounds alongside variable skip jobs
- Weights and waste documents per collection
- Overdue hires and surcharges billed
What you can build for waste management companies
Skip bookings that check size, dates and access
Customers choose a size, drop date and hire length, and the booking only offers a size that is free for those dates. It asks whether the skip goes on a driveway or the road, since road placement may need a permit, the access width, overhead cables, and a photo of the drop spot. The postcode is checked against your service area first.
Build a skip hire booking system. Customers enter their postcode to check coverage, choose a skip size, drop date and hire length, and only see sizes available for those dates. Ask whether it goes on a driveway or the road (flag permit needed), access width, overhead obstructions and a photo of the drop spot. Take payment through my own payment provider account.
Every container numbered and located
Each container has a number, size and current location: yard, a customer site or the disposal site. Every drop and lift updates it. Damaged containers are marked out of service, long-term commercial bins are tracked per site, and the list shows containers that have sat at a site for months.
Make a container tracking app for my waste company. Each skip and bin has a number, size and status (yard, on hire at an address, at disposal site, out of service). Drivers update it on each drop and lift from a phone. List containers on hire longer than their hire period.
A size guide that stops wrong-size skip orders
Show each container with a photo, its dimensions and a practical comparison, such as a bathroom refit or a full garden clearance, plus the weight allowance. List what cannot go in a skip, check coverage by postcode, and give commercial customers a separate route in for regular collections and recycling.
Make a website for my skip hire and waste company with a size guide showing photos, dimensions, weight allowance and typical jobs per skip size, a list of items we cannot accept, a postcode coverage check, a commercial collections and recycling section, and a booking button.
Weights and paperwork for commercial customers
Commercial customers see their collection schedule per site, missed or rescheduled lifts, weights and recycling split, and download the waste documentation for each collection. They request an extra lift or report an overflowing bin in the same place.
Build a commercial customer portal for my waste company. Customers see each site's collection days, missed or rescheduled lifts, weights and recycling percentage per collection, download waste transfer documents, and request extra lifts.
Rounds, skip jobs and licensed drivers
Fixed commercial rounds and variable skip jobs share the same trucks. Match drivers to the vehicles they are licensed for, add loaders for clearances, and move every round when a public holiday shifts collection days.
Make a scheduling app for my waste company with fixed commercial rounds by day, variable skip drops and collections added to trucks, drivers matched to vehicles they are licensed for (skip loader, roll-on), loaders for clearance jobs, and a holiday-week tool that shifts rounds and lists customers to notify.
Surcharges backed by a dated photo
Skip invoices add extra days, overweight loads or restricted items found, using the weight recorded for that load. Commercial customers are billed per lift or a monthly rate per site, and missed collections are credited on the next invoice. Attach the collection photo to any surcharge.
Create an invoicing app for a waste company. Skip hire invoices add extra hire days, weight over the allowance using the recorded load weight, and restricted item charges with the collection photo attached. Commercial accounts are billed per lift or monthly per site, with credits for missed collections.
Check the overdue list every morning
Containers out past their hire period are either a missed collection or an extension nobody billed. Put that list at the top of the dashboard with the customer, address and days over. Next to it, show containers in the yard by size, so the office knows what can be promised today.
- Overdue hires with days over
- Yard stock by size
- Tonnage by waste stream for the month
Paperwork and local rules
Waste transfer notes, permits for skips on the road and rules on restricted items differ by country and council. Store the reference for each load on the job and invoice, and keep the restricted items list on your website current. Mythex records what you enter; the rules themselves are yours to check.
Questions
Can customers book a skip online?
Yes. They check coverage by postcode, choose a size and dates that are available, and pay through a payment provider on your own account.
Can drivers update jobs from the truck?
Yes. The app works in a phone browser, and on Pro you can get Android and iPhone apps that open your published app. Drivers mark drops and lifts and add weights and photos.
Can it plan the most efficient route?
Mythex can order jobs by area and show them on a map. Turn-by-turn route optimisation needs a mapping service with an API, which you can connect with your own account.
Do I need to code?
No. You describe the app and change it by chatting.
Is it free?
The Free plan needs no credit card and gives daily credits, enough to build and publish a first version. Pro is $25/month.
